day 18!

Well feeling like myself today except for this darn sinus headache. Gotta love the Ohio valley allergies!
I've been on Zoloft for six days now. I'm starting slow with the doses and working my way up. Side affects have been small. Stomach discomfort and there for a few days it did seem to amp up my anxieties.
Interesting thing about AD. The reason they take awhile to work is similar to coming off opiates. Your body has to make more serotonin receptors. Makes sense.
Anyway doing great at this moment and this moment is what matters!

Congrats on day 18!  And what is up with the allergy thing this year?  Seems everyone is having more trouble than usual (guess the stuffiness and sore throat I wake up with every morning is not so unusual?).  Good luck with the Zoloft; hopefully it will fully kick in soon and bring you some much deserved relief.  And for now, enjoy the moment!

I'm glad that you are doing so well. I hear ya on the allergies. Mine are awful all year round, but have been almost unbearable for the past 2 months. I take Zyrtec but it doesn't seem to help much. If you find a magic cure be sure to tell me! Take care...
